You call this a shield?

……

Golem, no name.

It has no concept of a name at all in its mind, a long deep sleep, a long time will pass in the blink of an eye, and things around it usually change.

It has long been used to this.

So, I fell asleep, woke up naturally, then got up and moved for a while, tired, continued to sleep, then woke up naturally again, got up and moved for a while, and was tired again.

Roughly, this process is repeated year after year.

To the stone giant, a hundred years old is just the standard for a newborn, and a few hundred years old may be called a child.

And it happened to be a child.

It first slept in a wasteland for more than [-] years, and then it turned into a desert, and then it began to move, climbing to a higher place, and he also encountered some small creatures fighting on the way.

Then, it pushed them away with its fingers.

Because they were in the way it wanted to go to sleep, then it found a good place, there are some other creatures, but it doesn't care much, it's high enough, it means it will take a long time to sleep Don't be bothered.

So it fell asleep.

As a result, this time, in a hundred years?Maybe less than a hundred years?

Someone is going to disturb it!Angry!Hammer all these guys who disturbed it to sleep!Hammer!

But... why is the thing in this creature's hand so familiar?Has the same kind of breath on it?

Originating from the instinctive reaction to death, even small animals will be alerted by the "corpse", unless it is a silly roe deer.And it felt that it was a "warning" from the same kind.

That's an executioner!

The executioner laughed, very strangely, and he threw out the corpses of his compatriots, one after another.

Death, what a distant word, even if they are scattered, they can be recovered in a long slumber, even if a giant dragon sees them, it will only snort and leave feeling bored.

But why...

It's scared, it's just a child...

Sheld didn't know that in the eyes of the stone giant, his image had become a bloody demon who laughed and "threw the corpse" in front of the children. After all, to him, what he threw was only a stone.

Even if it was originally a part of the stone giant, after losing its "soul", it is just a stone, and it will not be deliberately associated with the corpse at all.

He just watched the red flames in the stone giant's eyes gradually turn green, like a traffic light, and he couldn't stop being happy.

It seems that you can skip this big guy without suffering.

"Moo-!"

The stone giant made a sound of unknown meaning, but it was obviously much softer than before, and Sheld could even hear a hint of timidity.It can only be said that the birth of this species is quite balanced, with a nearly unlimited lifespan, a strong physique, and overwhelming strength, but it is timid.

Sheld waved at Neveu and Stike.

"Don't panic! Let's go! It seems that our stone giant friend is willing to make way for us. It's all a misunderstanding, haha, misunderstanding!"

"The stone giant..."

It wasn't until Neveu went out first that Sidi Ke realized it, and slowly came out leaning on her staff, swallowing saliva in her mouth.

"I've only seen this thing in the illustration book. It is said that it is just passing by. It has the power to easily destroy any small army."

"How did you do that? Can you communicate with it?"

"I bought it with stones."

Sheld was talking nonsense, but Stike and Neveu couldn't help but believe it, because the "facts" were already in front of them, and the stone giant, who looked extremely irritable, completely fell silent after Sheard threw a few boulders.

Now that the huge body is shrunk to the side of the platform, it looks very funny, and the mung bean-like eyes are full of grievances.

"Unbelievable..."

"I think it's normal."

Neveu on the side began her precise analysis again: "The leader is an envoy of God. In the story book, the stone giant itself is also the creation of the God of the Earth. It is not normal for God to communicate with God's creation and live in harmony. Well."

Leaving aside the premise of occupation, there are problems, this speculation is still very strong.

Anyway, Si Di was convinced.

"That's right, it is indeed a rare profession that I have never heard of. Maybe you are the first person in this profession?"

"Although he is the first person, but the wrong occupation is..."

Sheld didn't bother to emphasize it anymore. I don't know if there is some mysterious force at work, and his reputation as a shield user probably cannot be spread.

Although the stone giant seemed very quiet, such a big guy was like a giant dragon sleeping on the side, even if it didn't move, it was very deterrent.

The three of them just walked past it, and then started to run when they left the platform.

The focus is on the word "counseling".

For this kind of creature with an incomplete mind, Sheld was also afraid that the other party would suddenly not speak "reasonable" and go straight to it.

After crossing this large platform, there are more decorations around, most of which are things left by the barbarians before, graffiti, and their simple records.

"The mountain road is much wider."

"really……"

"Boom boom boom boom."

The three of them hadn't recovered from the stone giant before, when they heard noises and not-so-violent vibrations from the direction of the big platform when they came over.

The three quickly leaned their backs against the mountain to stabilize their figures.

"Is that Golem going mad again?"

Si Dike stared closely at the direction of the platform, for fear that the stone giant would jump or something and charge directly towards them. If nothing else, the mountain path would collapse.

After a while, it gradually quieted down.

"It's a good thing we're going fast!"

Neveu patted his chest, feeling very grateful, and incidentally said a few words: "Leader, your negotiation skills are not good!"

"How about you talk?"

"I'll forget it, you come, you come!"

Neveu stuck out her tongue.

Negotiations by God!Sheld complained in his heart, is that a threat, maybe the stone giant is getting angry right now.

What none of them expected was that the actual stone giant was fleeing overnight from this place where the "demon" appeared.

Volume 91 A New Beginning: Chapter 89 Chapter [-] Arriving in Evening Bell Town

"Pound pound!"

"This thing, if nothing else happens, it should be a propeller, right?"

"Anyway, I don't know it. I believe it when you say it's a windmill."

"I've seen similar decorations at the celebration of the Big Tree Festival..."

"The thing on the Big Tree Festival is a windmill."

It was already the second day of "escaping" from the stone giant.

Shield and his party have arrived in the empire, an area known as the Western Wilderness. The vegetation here is sparse, but it is much more vibrant than the other side of Mount Hygara.

And they, in this wilderness, saw things that should not belong to natural creations.

Neveu and Stike, the two "mountain cannons", thought it was a windmill, but Sheard, a "city man", could tell at a glance that the riding horse was a metal propeller.

The broken part is also connected to an unknown component.

"It seems that our benefactor, Mr. Harold, is not in a very good condition."

It is not difficult to guess that this thing is on the thing that Harold was riding for his escape. What is it called?Escape boat?After going through the investigation skills, Shield confirmed his judgment even more.

"The wreckage should be around here."

If there is no accident, unless the quality of the thing is so good that it can still fly tenaciously even if a propeller is broken.

"So, where do we go next?"

Stike squatted down and asked Sheld, who was banging on the propeller with his brain.

"I don't know." Sheld stood up and sighed: "Maybe we should find another teammate who can find the way..."

When there are basically no reference objects around, and there is only a large open space, the function of the map panel is a bit urgent, and it is called the fun of exploring maps in the game.

But if it is in reality?

That's really sad.

Shield wanted a hot bath and a good toilet.

He felt like he was going to stink.

At this time, if there is a ranger with some skills such as "Eagle Eye", or a sharpshooter, ranger, etc., it will be much more convenient.

"Then let me decide the direction."

"you?"

Sheld leaned back slightly, showing a subtle expression, as if he had met Sidi Ke for the first time: "You still find the way?"

Is it because his investigation skills are too outdated, and he can't find any hidden skills?

"I can't find it, but it's better than wasting it. Anyway, this place is within the scope of the empire. As long as I don't go back to the other side of Mount Hygara, where can I go?"

As Sidi Ke said, she put the staff in her hand on the ground, and then let go.

"Snapped!"

The "Staff of the Goddess of the Forest", which is an artifact, was thrown on the ground just like that. Si Ti Ke glanced at it, then pointed to the direction where the staff fell to the ground and said, "Go over there."

"Northwest? It's not impossible."

Well, Sheld didn't have any expectations for this stupid method at all, but since Sidi Ke took the initiative to take the blame and guide the way, then it's not his fault for getting lost, right?

"Who of you, pull a table on your back, I want to order food! Have a good meal, so you can hurry."

"Okay! Eat and eat!"

Hearing that it was time to eat, Neveu was undoubtedly the happiest of the three.

……

After drinking and eating, they hurried on the road for a while. The speed of the three of them seemed to explode suddenly when they were not climbing mountains.

But when the city really appeared in front of Sheld, both Sheld and Neveu were stunned.

"Are you sure you chose the way by just throwing the stick on the ground?"

Looking at the names of the towns on the map, Sheld couldn't help giving Stike a thumbs up.

Nothing else, this is luck!It would be a pity not to touch a welfare lottery or something.

"Is there any mechanism on this staff?" Neveu stood next to Stike, fumbling around on the staff, "Or did you use any special skills and spells?"

"There are no organs and no spells."

Sidike watched the two treasures with a speechless expression and took back the staff from Neveu's hand: "This is not a big deal, there are so many towns in the empire, as long as you walk in one direction, you will always encounter settlements." , it’s just a matter of probability.”

Evening Bell Town, it sounds like this name is not auspicious, ringing the evening bell or something.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look."

"Finally there is a city!"

Neveu cheered, and quickly put the matter of the staff behind her. Now, like Sheld, she just wants to take a bath and rest for a while.

It is really inconvenient for a female adventurer to go out, so she actually desires the town more than Sheld.

Muzhong Town is not that big, it just feels like a cross pedestrian street, with two front and back doors, which limits the further extension of the "pedestrian street" to the distance.

Just such a small town, Shield bets that the resident population inside is definitely measured in hundreds... well, he estimated it from the white dots on the map panel.

But it is such a small town, but the gate is heavily guarded, and there is a watchtower in the city that is a lot higher than the city wall.

Military town?
